Choosing A Webhost:
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation. more...

Well, don't underestimate your reviewers. I know enough to point out
some packages which will likely have selinux issues even though I am
not generally able to test them under selinux.

What has been a problem (for instance, in the Bugzilla review) is that
even given an SELinux policy to test, nobody involved could do the
testing. I tried but I just ended up wasting a couple of hours on
relabels and ending up with a machine that needed to be reinstalled.
Fortunately I have plenty of machines around that I can hack on; many
reviewers and packagers aren't so blessed.

I note that the submitter/maintainer of the Extras Bugzilla package is
@redhat.com.

The review ticket is
